My plan starts in the morning when i have to start making the sourdough bread so it is ready in time for Blizzcon. Then i will be making some kind of dessert and finally lasagna so everything is ready just in time for Blizzcon opening ceremony.

you might not notice it, but goblins and gnomes, while lighthearted in general, are "lighthearted" in different ways. with gnomes, it's usually just goofy shit. but with goblins, it tends to be mafia stuff, which isn't really that lighthearted if you think about it. yeah, it's played in a joke way, but you're still talking about murder, extortion, general criminal activity that ruins people's lives. you can joke about the stereotypical behavior, but the content of the behavior itself is no laughing matter.

You're right. For me lighthearted is bad no matter the form WHEN it is part of core thematics. I accept it in sidequests because it is the stereotypical comic relief.

However, I simply won't accept an expansion where Ghostbuster Tinkers pave the way to Shadowlands. That sounds too stupid even for Pixar standards.

I feel you on that one. I'm same atm, got enough on my blizz balance from WoW tokens to buy a VT but that is only in case the rumored demo access is true. Otherwise would rather just use it on other stuff.

Illidan and Lich King are an example of their powers being passed on to the "Hero Class members". Not too long till we find out I suppose.

But Sylvanas herself isnt a dark ranger right? She's a banshee that was ranger-general while living, does that make her a dark ranger? It was extremely obvious that the Lich King is training death knights and also rooted in lore. We all knew Illidan was a demon hunter (again from old lore).

btw guys, so if i understand correctly, this years blizzcon will allow a full 3 hours and 15 min of free coverage up from jsut 1 hour from previous blizzcons because of the inclusion of 4 coming soon panels?

ignoring the new magic she's using, she is what a dark ranger playable class should be.

all these banshee abilities she shows off, flying, turning into a death cloud, raising the dead in a limited capacity, banshee scream, mind control, this is what a dark ranger MUST be if they are ever added.

Yeah, those bits, sure. But this new sudden death blow that one-shot Saurfang, isn't. To be honest, we haven't seen much of the other bits too, but I'll chalk that up to mostly just not seeing Dark Rangers in combat in general. But like I've said in other threads, they could still just add those bits to a Dark Ranger spec, where the damage baseline will be arrows doing shadow damage and corrupting the enemy while they flit around with their banshee-themed Disengage.

Although, this is still back and forth. Because we are basing this on all Dark Rangers being raised the same way Sylvanas was where she was initially turned into a Banshee who then found her body again. If they're just an undead ranger that was raised, they would still have the necromantic, but not banshee abilities.

They got their powers, but the ones that made sense. Not the over the top insane ones. Once again, you don't see DKs raising literal armies, but you can raise a couple. You don't see Demon Hunters going around summoning Flame Demons from their glaives.

lol 1 hour to 3 hour 15 min

wtf

Basically all 4 announcements panels are free this time which leads to the idea that big stuff are coming to every Blizz franchise

no class in the game does that.

you can't just make a character bounce between being undead and not undead, that's just terrible. it'd be like if your forsaken shadow priest turned into a living human for holy spec.

I'll be chilling on couch, with snacks and drinks, cuddling with my cat Tink. The perfect day!

If my plans for a viewing party fail (because I told other friends to organize the stuff and I'll handle the ticket, since I'm the only one working and dont have time to organize) I might end up the same, except my cat is called Bismarck

i don't think i'd even play the new expansion if that were the case. but the fucking herds of soy-infused losers would eat it up.

As much as I do want tinker, the "ghost-buster" spec did always sound kinda odd to me. I would rather see the mech type specs or maintaining turrets or the healing spec based on something like Ana's gun from Overwatch or the bandage gun and the like.
